One of the wackiest, most physically demanding reality competition series, ABC’s Wipeout is coming back for a seventh season – with one big difference: lucky seven will be a Tournament of Champions event! The new season will also have new, specially themed episodes – like a chance to win a date with Jill Wagner, and the return of some of big favorites – like Bosses & Employees.

A premiere date is yet to be announced. Follow the jump to check out the press release.

ABC announced it summer 2112 schedule today and it’s 89% reality-based programming. Of the nine new and returning series, only one is a scripted, fictional series – Rookie Blue [and drama doesn’t get much lighter than that…].

New are Duets, a singing competition for duos – with a twist; Trust Us with Your Life, wherein celebrities reminiscing about their lives – and improv comics performing their takes on those reminiscences; and Final Witness, which will examine one murder each week – from the victims perspective – and will combine interviews with scripted re-enactments.

ABC announced the eight shows that will comprise the additions to its mid-season schedule – including one sitcom [Work It, four reality shows [Celebrity Wife Swap, Wipeout, Shark Tank and the next round of Dancing With the Stars] and three hour-long shows [The River, GCB and Missing].
